CAPTION THIS PING

[wideawake]

Did MLK III eat MLK II?

Obama: "I did NOT listen to the sermons of that man, Jeremiah Wright..."

[weegee]

Where is Senator Robert Byrd?!!!

[weegee]

I really wish Michael Jackson would make his mind up.

[weegee]

Hillary: "I know EXACTLY what Dr. King went through. I TOO faced deadly sniper fire..."

[Lucky9teen]

what's with the crossed hands?

Well...it's just like them to "twist" everything to make it seem like their doing more or care more than they actually are/do.

[weegee]

This is they way MLK marchers locked arms:

But the Sin-ators have locked arms the way modern day agitators do:

I saw a part of Hillary's MLK speech just now on FOX. She pretended to be "choked up" a bit when recalling the day she heard King was shot. She said she was a Jr. in college, came into her dorm room, and threw her books across the room. I just can't believe that today, 40 years since his death, that Hillary wants people to believe that she still gets emotional about it, if she ever really did. (Wouldn't we love to hear from her college roommate?)

Anyway, in comparison, I can vividly recall the day my mother died. We were very, very close and she had a great effect on everything I did or thought. As any daughter would be I was terribly upset, and I cried for days, even months. Almost every day I still think of her, but it has been 15 years, not 40 years, and I don't get choked up when I talk about her anymore. She was my mother, more important to me than anyone...not some iconic hero of the '60's, and yet Hillary wants people to believe she can shed a tear about MLK today. Certainly I was much closer to my Mom, than Hillary was to MLK and yet Hillary can stand in front of people and act like this event was personal and happened TO HER personally just yesterday.

I just cannot stand her attempts to try and make people think she has or had feelings of such depth about this. I doubt she ever shed a tear for him or anyone else, unless she had an audience she was trying to impress. She is so obviously a phony and acting to make others believe that the memory of King's untimely and tragic death can bring her to tears. No wonder she is enamored with the Hollywood crowd - her life, emotions, reactions are all scripted and unrealistic. P.S. Do we all recall how she and Bill snoozed during the funeral of Ronald Regan? No emotions there, were there?

If their heads are bowed in prayer, then the people behind them must not have gotten the word that the prayer was still "on".

[RepublitarianRoger2]

Exactly. It’s all a bunch of B.S. for the camera. The only remarkable, even astonishing thing about it is the number of people that apparently can’t see through the charade and take it at face value. It is just so darn obvious.

[weegee]

McCain was booed for publicly admitting he voted against the MLK Holiday (even though he said he has changed his mind on that matter).

That's about all I've heard of the media coverage of McCain's appearance. And Hillary's discussion of flinging her bookbag has gotten some coverage but no mention if she was publicly booed for her "confession".

[weegee]

Again I ask, where is Robert Byrd?

[weegee]

A: Sen. Byrd is the senior skeleton in the Democrats’ closet.

[MaxMax]

She does smell like a white woman

[MaxMax]

Home run.
